USB Mouse Start & Stops Intermittently

[Guest Borhunt]

I have a Microsoft Optical Mouse (in fact it happens on more than one type of

Microsoft USB mouse) that connects and disconnects from the USB port

intermittently. I will go to move the cursor and the computer will ding with

the SUB Device disconnect and then it will ding with the USB device connect.

Sometimes it will do it several times in a row. Someimtes I have to

disconnect the USB connector and reinsert it to get it working again.

 

this occurs on all USB ports on the latop, several mice, and I have moved

the harddrive to another laptop and the problem moves with it.
